Ares is the god of war and courage, one of the Twelve Olympian Gods, son of Zeus and Hera. The ancients saw in Ares the ferocity and bloodlust of war, but also valor.

Hermes is one of the 12 Olympian gods and the messenger of the will of the gods. Son of Zeus and Maia (of the Pleiades). In Roman mythology known as Mercury (derived from the Latin merx meaning “merchandise”), considered the bridge between gods and men, as the messenger of the gods. Less is known about Hermes’ original function as “leader of souls between the Upper and Lower worlds ” and from there he became the patron of travelers, roads, borders, sailors and trade. He is also the patron of shepherds, flocks and flocks (birds).
Athena Goddess
The goddess Athena was born of Zeus himself. He, the Thunderbolt, knew that the goddess of reason, Metis, would have two children: a daughter, Athena, and a son with extraordinary intelligence and extraordinary strength. The Moiras, the goddesses of fate, revealed to Zeus the secret that the son of the goddess Metis would dethrone him and take away his power over the world. The great Zeus was frightened. In order to avoid the terrible fate foretold to him by the moirs, he, after putting the goddess Metis to sleep with kind words, devoured her before she gave birth to her daughter, the goddess Athena.

Artemis (Ἄρτεμις), twin sister of Apollo and daughter of Zeus and Leto, was the goddess of the hunt, wild animals, forests, hills, childbirth (midwifery), child care, and chastity. Homer calls her πότνια θηρῶν, “mistress of beasts,” and her temper is proverbial, representing the wrath of nature.
God Apollo – God of Light
The god of light, the golden-haired Apollo, was born on the island of Delos. His mother, Latona, persecuted for the wrath of the goddess Hera, could not find refuge anywhere. Chased by the dragon Python, sent by Hera, she wandered around the world and finally hid on the island of Delos, which in those days was floating on the waves of the stormy sea. As soon as Latona set foot on Delos, two huge pillars rose from the abyss, supporting and stopping this desert island. He stood firm in the same place he stands now. The sea roared around Delos.
